Speed Boosters are objects in the Sonic games which give the player an instant burst of speed. These are usually placed where speed needs to be constant, like loops or corkscrews, however they can also be used to change direction quickly.

Mega Drive Games

In the old games, Boosters were modeled after the environment they were placed:

Sonic 2

Sonic CD

Sonic 3

Sonic & Knuckles

Modern Games

With most modern titles, they have been unified into Dash Pads aka Dash Panels, which can be placed in any environment. Dash Pads also are capable of directing Sonic at high speeds as seen in Sonic Unleashed.

Modern titles also have Jump Plates, which are basically combining the Dash Pad and the Spring.

Sonic 3D Blast had its own kind of unified booster, a Spin-Dash Launcher.

Speed Boosters also make appearances in titles developed by Dimps, using the Chemical Plant design.
